Christmas present ideas for people who are always in the kitchen at parties

I do of course hope to see as many readers as possible at the "Underground Christmas Market" on December 5th where you will be able to buy food and craft gifts as well as eating and drinking and hanging out listening to music. Here's the link to buy tickets: http://www.wegottickets.com/event/96668

But in the meantime here's a few things I personally would love to get for christmas and I hope it gives you all some great ideas for what to buy your loved ones, assuming they are foodies like me.

Catherine: yes it's difficult to find someone to retin. They do it in carcassonne but I'm not sure where you would find that here. I have a few copper pans I need retinned too.Gerry: yup, brilliant idea! hehe

Found this info on retinning: http://www.housetohome.co.uk/articles/Who_repairs_antique_copper_pots__118676.htmlInteresting thread on how to retin and how it used to be done, someone would come round every year to retin people's pots: http://www.finishing.com/255/53.shtml

Some really pretty stuff here; the sort of thing I admire when I go and visit other people's houses! I'm far too idle for the active stuff and far too clumsy for the delicate. But the oilcloth is a great idea- I bought the plastic equivalent from Carrefours, which has a lovely Autumn Harvest sort of theme and protects my walnut surgeon's table.

Supper Club: Recipes and notes from the underground restaurant

"The hundreds of diners who've attended one of Rodgers's supper clubs (aka Ms Marmitelover, she is one of the pioneers of the movement in the UK) will be able to confirm, between satisfied burps, that she cooks the kind of food that people really want to eat. This is a beautifully designed collection of some of her most successful menus. Resistance is futile."
